WSTW (93.7 FM) is a commercial FM radio station licensed to serve Wilmington, Delaware. The station is owned by Delmarva Broadcasting Company and broadcasts a top 40/CHR format. Its broadcast tower is located north of Wilmington at (39°48′57.3″N 75°31′45.2″W / 39.815917°N 75.529222°W / 39.815917; -75.529222).^[1] The station's service contour covers the entire city of Philadelphia.^[2]

The station is only a minor factor in the Philadelphia radio market and focuses on Wilmington. WSTW is the dominant young adult targeted radio station covering Wilmington and the southwestern suburbs of Philadelphia. But even though, until 2010, was considered adult top 40, it is still reported by Mediabase & Nielsen BDS as a contemporary hit radio station. WSTW's 2010 shift towards a contemporary hit radio direction met reporting standards, mainly due to Clear Channel Communications' WISX Philadelphia returning to adult top 40 from rhythmic adult contemporary. WSTW is on the Nielsen BDS top 40 panel.

In May 2005, WSTW created the "Rewards" program for winning and obtaining prizes. The "Choice Rewards" system allows listeners of the station to bid on auctions for WSTW concerts, merchandise, etc., based on how many points the user has. Users obtain these points by typing in "Choice Words", which they hear on WSTW itself, on the "Rewards" website. The "Rewards" program was changed later, with "Choice Words" being solely found on the WSTW webpage, at station appearances, and via online surveys. WSTW is owned by the Delmarva Broadcasting Company.

In 2006, WSTW was chosen as CHR Station of the Year of the Marconi Award by the National Association of Broadcasters.
